p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff know the correct procedures to follow if they have concerns regarding a child's welfare. Staff understand their responsibilities to keep children safe. For example, they carry out thorough risk assessments and maintain close supervision of children. The management team has updated arrangements to support staff and monitor their individual performance. This helps them to identify and address any weaknesses in the quality of teaching. There are tailored coaching and training plans in place to support the continued professional development of staff. The management team closely monitors the progress of children. They swiftly identify children who need additional support, such as children who have speech delays. They work with parents and professionals to ensure children receive the support they need.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a good variety of activities for children and value their interests. They support children's language skills well. For example, they sing songs using puppets with younger children and repeat single words, such as the names of animals. Staff encourage children's mathematical skills. For example, they count the number of times they fill buckets with sand and recognise numbers in sensory activities. Children look forward to their weekly forest school sessions. They make links to their learning, such as re-enacting familiar stories and take part in a bug hunt. Staff enthusiastically encourage children to try new activities. For example, children gain confidence to develop their balance and coordination while practising using small walking stilts.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff place a good focus on supporting children's emotional well-being. For example, older children learn about managing emotions during group activities. Children enjoy their time at nursery and new children settle quickly. Staff help children to move on to the next stage of learning with ease. For example, staff arrange visits for older children to go to the local school and invite teachers to the nursery. Staff promote good opportunities for children to learn about the importance of healthy lifestyles. For example, they participate in daily exercise, weekly football sessions and practise good oral hygiene. Furthermore, children enjoy freshly cooked, healthy meals and learn about the benefits on their bodies of eating fruit and vegetables.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children are eager and inquisitive to explore and learn. They confidently choose activities that interest them and show good levels of concentration while they complete tasks. Children develop good independence. For example, younger children learn to use cutlery at mealtimes and older children manage their basic self-care, such as handwashing and toileting. Children enjoy exploring various sensory textures and experimenting with tools. Overall, children develop good speaking skills. For example, they enjoy talking about their play. Younger children thoroughly enjoy songs with puppets.
